DODA: To instill a sense of responsibility and commitment towards maintaining cleanliness in our surroundings, the Health Department Doda, under the supervision of CMO Doda Dr. Om Kumar, launched a 15-day Swachhta Pakhwada campaign in the district. On the first day, the staff of the CMO Office, Dy CMO Office, along with staff and students of ANMT School Doda, participated in the campaign, which aimed to ensure the cleanliness and upkeep of the area.

He briefed participants about the ongoing Swachhta Pakhwada campaign initiative and urged the active participation of local communities in contributing to the cleanliness drive in their respective areas.
